Omg fuckin yes. It was so awesome. It was during a brief period when mp3 hit the stage but before ipod was God, there were mp3 players that would just pop up like a memory stick in windows and you could limewire whatever you wanted for music onto the players.

IDK if the software was Sony but the player was and you could put your whole limewire library in a small single CD per page zip up binder things. The mp3 saved on the cd was nothing special. The special was no audio players could play mp3 files at that time. Exceptions being: gaming consoles, pc’s and maybe your surround sound if it was new. Cars were still nobs and buttons.

Gotta have something growing under the Elms and real Maples. Shiiit if the Japanese Maples are putting out 20:1 leaves of the big leafers and the big leafers are a buck then I might be better off planting 5 Lil Japanese Maples per big leafer.

Really tho the money is in the purple leaf Maples. Those fuckers make it rain leaves, are dwarves of pure Maples but still bigger than Japanese (idk if those are even real maple trees). Best of all tho, all their leaves are the same size as pure maple trees.

That rules out the onvious… plant a fuck ton of Japanese maples. Whatever it is giving them value, the little weed shaped leaves are guna be top dog.

Never really considered it till now. Thanks!

??? Took the same amount of time as any windows set up. Why would this even come close to the amount of times it would take for me to learn an entirely new operating system?

I plan to make a Linux drive to learn and test different software in but I’m not about to make that kind of blind leap without trying it out first.

I appreciate all the encouragement to make the switch but until I pull the trigger I’d like my current Windows OS to run as unmolested as possible.🍻

That isn’t as crazy as it may seem. My main audio source well after graduation which was 2005, was a portable cd player that could play cd’s burned with compressed mp3 libraries and connected to the car’s stereo system via aux to cassette adapter.

Idk about the portable cd player with mp3 library being common but most blunt cruises in those days were done in vehicles using portable cd player with cassette adapter. I know this is super anecdotal and specifically about the car owner class that isn’t buying new Lexus’ but I still wanted to point out the cassette deck saw extended use long after people stopped listening to actual cassettes.

This doesn’t qualify. Slavery is still in use in the world. You’d have to use a modifier like American slavery or the enslavement of x, y, z, people.

🤣 been a while since I’ve heard the song.

Love it. 🍻

Did you forget that period on purpose?!? My OCD is holding a gun to my head and won’t give until I asked. 😂

Shovel 14 tons what do ya get? Another day older and deeper in debt. St. Peter don’t you call cuz I anit home. I owe my soul to the company store.

Work has too many variables that make it shitty to think the grass is greener just by changing the location you work in. I’ve switched industries drastically a couple times and returned to some and feel strongly that people of the similar flock together. So even if you changed the people you work for or with by mowing towns, but dont change careers, it’s likely your next job will have the same personality types as the people you currently hate working for.

But who do you think is hiring you? Strictly people of your same age?

Theyre government ran programs. People expect them to operate with the efficiency of any normal business. The problem is businesses operating to the rules of a “free” market are driven by entirely different rules than the ones driving a government ran program.

In the government, program funding is dictated by the people in office and their political alignments. First looking at a scenario where the people in office are in support of a program the following outcomes usually happen: 1. Program is successful resulting in stagnant budget growth when times are good and budget cuts when times are bad. 2. Program is unsuccessful resulting in the people in office responsible for the program being unable to call the failing program a failure so they advocate for increasing the budget. Every raise and tier of compensation to the employees is decided in DC and eliminates all shreds of performance or tenure based raises. Employees working for government programs have absolutely no reason to want to excel at their job.

The concept is completely futile. Inprovments only come when enough people get so sick and tired of a program’s incompetencies that people protest or the media catches wind to make it a talking point important enough to affect elections.

It’s the foundation to Marge Simpson’s sisters on the Simpson’s and how they are shown working at the DMV. Incase you needed supporting citation for my opinion.

I’m also not commenting as any advocate for either political side nor am I implying “there’s no difference between the right and left.” I’m simply saying the foundation that government programs must adhere to will never produce an efficient operating environment for any program to succeed under.

One that put in power people who would have reconsidered drafting the conclusion magnet Tua Tagovailoa. /s

Fuckin Arcade, NY is scumbag central. From the cops to the meth heads anyone with a shred of dignity gets out of the shit hole young and never looks back. What’s left gets dumber, lazier, slower and uglier by every passing generation. Fuck Arcade, NY.

There is no such thing as good winter drivers and bad winter drivers. There is only those with snow tires and those without.

Best: 4 snows on awd and 2-4 water softener bags of salt in trunk for weight and getting unstuck.

2nd best: 4 snow on awd

3rd best: 2 snow on front wheel drive with 4 salt bags in trunk/bed.

4th best: awd no snows but good tread

Worst: fuckin everything else.

Household tips: insulate your pipes if in unfinished basement or have a heater running for really cold days or if the pipes will not have water FLOWING/RUNNING/MOVING thru pipes i.e. you go on vacation.

Plastic wrap your windows every fall. It sucks but helps a ton keeping heat in and costs down.

Spend the most money on gloves, hats and boots. Things that can’t be layered and get rhe coldest.

Hot hands/heat pouches are life savers for winter sports/sporting events/hunting/camping. They make them in foot shaped stick on versions for boots, put one in each of your pants pockets and one each in your coat pockets.

Keep spare salt, shovel, gloves, hat, blanket, granola bars and water in your car for when you WILL go off the road and need to wait for AAA.

Don’t fuck around with ice. Don’t try and walk across it without losing balance. Dont try and walk across it because you think it’s thick enough to hold you. If you are going on ice over water DONOT until you have drilled to check thickness or it is a large bodybif water that publishes the ice thickness.

Yes, snowmobiles can hydroplane across bodies of water.

Yes, skiis and snowboards can skate across bodies of water.

DO FUCKING NOT FUCKING TRY AND FUCKING HYDRO-FUCKING-PLANE OR SKI/SNOWBOARD ACCROSS ANY BODIES OF WATER.

Meh Firefox is very customizable but not a ton of settings really for critical privacy, compatibility or optimization.

Chrome and all Google services can get fucked for just the amount of sites, pages, sub-accounts you have to navigate thru JUST to turn off their tracking bullshit.

I think I have my android and PC as fully isolated from any Google account, software, service or operation short of going full Root of phone and Linux. Which, Linux is on my todo list to go daily driver-Linux and 2ndary boot drive-Windows.

For now tho, local user Windows account and all google accounts and apps either un-installed or disabled on the phone.

The 3 days of settings adjustments, debloating, de-spyware-ing, regestry edits, group edits, service edits, power edits just have a functioning OS that doesn’t bottleneck/ruin your espensive hardware you paid for.
